We’re there no bald Vikings?

I'm from the N.E. of Scotland. Family have been here for as long as we know. People don't realise that we don't consider the S.W. to be the same peoples. We can still tell if someone is from here or there before they open their mouth. One of the most peaceful amalgamation of different peoples in history and we're proud of it. We're a (all) Jock Thamson's (Thomson's) bairns. Good video bud

The Picts were the northern Britons who the Romans never invaded. They basically spoke the same language as the Britons of England and Wales, albeit without the Roman/Latin influence. So they were still basically Celtic speaking. The Epidii were are Pictish tribe who lived in what is now Argyle. Due to their geographical isolation from the rest of the Picts they found it easy to trade and interact with the Irish across the narrow sea. So they adopted the Irish language (Gaelic) and became kinown as Scots. The Scoti or Scots was the name that the Romans gave to Gaelic speakers. These Scots established a kingdom called Dalriada which extended into Ireland. There was no Irish invasions of Pictland, but the Scottish king and aristocracy inherited Pictland after the Danish Vikings killed the Pictish king and his nobles. Prior to the Viking raids there had been much intermarriage between members of Scoti and Pictish kings and nobles. The Picts eventually became Scots after adopting the Gaelic language. The Picts were first introduced to the language after the Irish converted them to Christianity.

nice one mate 👍 following

Snorri is my grand grand grand 39 times over grand father.

This shows how AI fails in so many ways. This seems to have been created by a badly informed human using AI creating the imagery. Anyway the Picts and the Scots were not same at all. Which is not made clear to later. The imagery in the first few minutes seems to show Scottish highlanders from around 16th century onwards, representing Picts.. Which is about 700 years after the Picts disappeared. Nobody knows how Pictish societies worked. There is hardly any evidence. But the narrator seems to assume they were the same as later Scottish Gaelic clan societies.

What are some helpful resources that you used in making this?

AI really cannot do human hands....

Even when you are wrong you are right is real kinship!

The picts are the original tribes of pictland, Shetland and orkney east Scotland and Cumbria and Lancashire that's the picts the masters of stone work and carvings

I think you exaggerated the horrors of Norse slavery a good bit. Like yeah, thralls were treated pretty horribly, but their existence wasn't hopeless like you're making it out to be. There were examples of male and female slaves who achieved an almost comfortable status through their own prestige and exceptionalism.

Enjoyed the clip clan Mackay

this is all poorly executed cut & paste.

Rhe Scots are from Scotia not Ireland as the name of Ireland did not exist until well into the 10th century

True Vikings lost battles but it’s because they didn’t care if the were outnumbered

Not all families forgot the old, self-sustaining ways or their family history. We got a real kick out of my sister doing her 23 And Me and ffinding out we had traces of Irish Scotts, ancient Germanic and Stepp folk, Scandinavians and a smidge of North African that link back to family stories of how we came along to be. The Moorish trader that came to sell and didn't go home, the Dane that came aviking and was taken prisoner by an ancesstress (ahem!) but got packed off after a few babies for drunkenness and a refusal to work the farm, the Irish princess being the reason for our strong matrilinial family tradition... that made it all seem a little more real.

This is so bad, they cant even generate a sword imagine. 5:24 guy on right his blade is off by a couple of inches.

Informative video! 😊

Weren’t anglo saxons germans ?

I plan on writing a novel with a Viking main character, this video is very informative. Thank you 😊

Oh man. Worst video I've seen in a while. You should visit some museums and read literature on that topic beside the Uhtred Books 🫣 There is not one kind of authentic depiction of a late iron age Scandinavian known as Vikings.

It appears there are no women in Anglo Saxon life... Oh wait, there they both are, in the kitchen, with angelic beams of light highlighting their perfect skin and hair 😂 But still no babies or children, so they must have sprung from the earth, fully formed and bearded!! 😂😂

Yeah but she's russian. Close enough.

what AI do you use for the images? and where can i get it?

When I was a Viking back then this was so cool and fun.

In the 2nd Century, the Picts (today's Scotland) invaded today's Ireland (in the 1st to 4th century it was called Scotia) this i long before the Vikings arrived in the 8th century!!!

Not all Saxons are Nazi pure race invaders as most Saxon's of Saxony and England opposed the Nazi's loved Saxon wars that they became allied to the French defenders of the first victim of the Saxon wars known as Dutch of Deventer that would later save their Jewish allies from the Nazi's that made fake grave stones to shame the French heroes of Charlemagne for killing the Saxons that they did not kill but exiled as they opposed the executioner ritual of those few Nazi Saxons that live to tell lies called history, I found the christian jews of France were already allied to the Norse long before the Saxon wars even started against the Dutch of Deventer that became defended by the French that defeated the Nazi Saxon that fled to Denmark and forced the Norse to flee to the safety of France where the Norse could recover and help save the Jews from the Nazi Saxon that forced the Norse to flee from Denmark. In the end it looks like all peaceful Saxon allies of the French defenders of the Dutch of Deventer were allied to the Norse who were forced out of Denmark by just a few Saxon Nazi's that opposed the peaceful empire of Charlemagnes French and Saxon and Norse and Dutch alliance.

Basically a day in my life ;D

Lol i knew this story was complete nonsense.

Wow, very nice video and please you try to do SEO for your video so that it reaches everyone and gets many views, likes, comments and shares. Wishing you success.

Anglo Saxons ( Angles, Saxon, Jutes ) came from the same land that most Viking came from. That would be Denmark. Just 400 years of separation. The migration was so large it almost left Denmark depopulated. Those left behind were called just Northmen. When both met they could understand each other verbally. Also shared the same pagan religion worshipping Oden, Thor.... before the Anglo Saxons became Christians.

The Anglo Saxons were Christinized by the time the Vikings arrived. They were taught that killing someone was a sin. They had to turn back to their Barbarian roots to finally beat them.

I love that you specified how wives were forced into their roles and forced to work like slaves. Makes me know that your info is more reliable cause it its less likely to be tainted with sexism like a lot of history is. However, viking women were never "housewives". House wives didn't exist until the 1950s and were considered a "status symbol" because women were "trophy wives" and treated as objects. Anytime before that, women were doing exactly what their husband's were doing, probably on top of all of the house chores and child raising. So if the husband's were farmers, so were the women. Also, to call a housewife "idle" completely negates all of the Hardworking is involved with taking care of an entire household (laundry, dusting, cleaning, cooking, raising children 24/7 ON TOP of farming). If thats not work, do it yourself then 😂😂 although I will say "free" is a perfect way to describe an unmarried woman of this time

I really enjoyed the way you did this video...i actually woke up wondering what a day in the life of a Viking would be and u answered perfectly

Hi, I’m from the clan MacCleod.

I certainly would *NOT* consider Snorri a VIKING either & he wrote what he did with a very slanted view more than 200 years after the facts!!

what a shame; went from warriors to sheep...

Buddy the Scotii (Scots) are a tribe from Scotia (Scotland) in todays Ireland, in the 1st to 5th century the Romans and Greeks called today's Ireland as Scotia ie Scotland and you might ve aware that in the 2nd century the Picts invaded Scotia todays Ireland, the Scots are NOT from ireland as it sid not exist, it was Scotia, then Hibernia, then todays Ireland there were many gribes in todays Ireland vut get the facts right look up SCOT under Encyclopedia Britannica its all there.

AI is not, in any way ,a real representation of the past...Fail

The algorithm brought me here randomly and I enjoyed the video and found it informative. I subscribed. A few small edits to remove pregnant pauses or verbal false starts would help with pacing and keeping the energy up on the narrative.

Love the video. I suggest using a different mic to further improve the videos.

How certain are the sources the name Holmgang is referring to "home"? I was in the belief this was referring to a small islet on norwegian called Holme. And that they fought on a small islet as this gave a natural border for the fight.

Exactly how disputes should be settled

The didn't beat the Saxons overall, you do remember what happened in 1066 at Stamford Bridge?? The end of the Viking Age that's what happened!!
